pirate joined empire after I destroyed their base, are now raiding friendly empires

[dostillevi]

I had a pirate faction join my empire after I blew up their base, and with full automation turned on their ships are continuing to raid indiscriminately against an empire I have a free trade agreement and good relations with. This doesn't make sense and hurts diplomatic relations.

Could you upload a save file for this please?

I can upload the files if it will help, but I am playing a very heavily modded version of the game. I don't believe the mods are related to the problem though. If you are able to access the messages without loading the game you would be able to see the following:

In the logs a pirate faction joined my empire on 2154.07.18. By 2155.12.20 I have received a warning from the quemeno to stop attacks. I am on very good terms with the quemeno, and have not issued any attack orders whatsoever. On 2156.02.18 the pirate ships (but no other ships) that joined my empire raided the quemeno colony of Hyiperuna. This entire game has been set to rule in absense. I believe the former pirates are continuing to act as if the pirate faction still existed. They have certainly not adopted my empire's policies, and I can't imagine why my empire would direct attacks on an ally.

I can also upload the personal mod I am using if you want to use that to load the saved game. Finally, this happened in version 1.9.0.6 but runs fine in 1.9.0.7.

Thank you!

I do know you can't keep pirate ships cuase the AI still sees them as pirates and will attack even if you are the best of friends and had babies together.
